Le mer 24/07/2002 à 15:05, Robert Fox a écrit : For whatever reason, under Konqueror file browser when I click on a PDF file - the standard viewer kghostview starts but the document is not there. It appears that NO PDF documents are readable in kghostview . . . but Xpdf and the others work fine. For some reason the kghostview default config is broken. It doesn't call ghostscript with the proper arguments to have it display in the window. To make it work, you have to open Setting Configure KGhostView ... and put: -sDEVICE=x11 ... in the Non antialiasing arguments textfield, and: -sDEVICE=x11 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=2 -dMaxBitmap=1000 ... in the Antialiasing arguments. Now the question is, why are the default config options fucked up? And does it need fixing for 9.0 release? I guess so.

[Cooker] 9beta1: sound card problems and frozen machine
Hi, I've just installed a very minimal (X, icewm, no kde, no gnome) install of beta1. I've got a opti pnp isa soundcard which uses the mad16 kernel module. The sound card is not setup on install (not sure if this is because I did an expert install). When I run sndconfig, it detects the card and tries to load the mad16 module, then complains about not being able to find the modules. I tried loading harddrake from the icewm menus, but this locked up the machine solid (needing a cold reboot). MDK8.1 used to lock up solid like this on install when it tried to detect my graphics card! Thanks Jeremy
Re: [Cooker] BETA 1 installation problems (JFS)
Yes, I am really sure from that. Maybe the problem is the ID type which according to fdisk is 83 for the partition formatted under Linux and 35 for the partition formatted under OS/2. The output of fdisk will gives me a following: (Id of the JFS-partition formatted by OS/2 is 35 not 83) Disk /dev/hdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1583 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device BootStart EndBlocks Id System /dev/hdb1 * 1457 1583 1020127+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hdb2 2 1456 11687287+ 5 Extended /dev/hdb5 * 2 1201 9638968+ 35 Unknown /dev/hdb6 * 1202 1456 2048256 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order In addition the blocksize should be 4096 (mkfs.jfs default) in both partitions, because I especially put it to that while formatting /dev/hdb6 under OS/2.

Also, why not allow the user to retain them once they're downloaded?

Personnally, I copied the content of /var/cache in /usr/local/cache, then destroyed /var/cache and linked to the new dir. Hmm, the problem is where are we supposed to copy the temporary RPM's when we download them. We believed /var/cache is the correct place, and if it is, probably the problem is that your configuration has a too small partition for /var. We could also download to something besides /tmp or even /usr, but I'm not sure it's clean at all.. I think a lot of people make a /var partition seperate from their / partition on the premise that /var might fill up (logs and other things), and they don't want their / filling up. I think the best place to download would be /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586, anybody that builds any RPMS probably has this on a partition with more space, and anybody that doesn't should :o) __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [Cooker] urpmi missing Perlmodul
Hello!
I dont remember that i had a crash or a corupt rpm db.
Maybe this error was from on pakage from cooker, because there is
another one with the same Problem.

Hi im new to the mailinglist but this is my report for 9.0. My cdrom isn't unmounting automatically when I push the eject button. Plus /mnt/cdrom hangs if their is no cd in it even if I am in the /mnt/ directory (very annoying). I looked in harddrake and it says that my cdrom is a scsi device.

GNOME 2 can use whatever window manager which follows the EHWM spec (www.freedesktop.org).

It is also very slow to minimize or maximize windows (or is it Gnome?). I realize it's an early stage but will it offer what Sawfish was missing, mainly desktop icons, middle and right click menus? Sawfish has NEVER displayed desktop icons.. Metacity is supposed to do only WM job, not desktop jobs (like displaying menu applications, ...) If you don't like metacity, use sawfish.. Okay, but *how? No, seriously, I can't seem to find any way to change window managers. Maybe I'm overlooking something but none of the Gnome 2 controls appear to have any such option available. Overall, the beta looks good. Though it's obvious not everything has been converted to work with Gnome 2. The Mandrake menus are missing a *lot.

[Cooker] 9.0 Beta 1 HD install weirdness
I didn't burn the ISOs to CD (in part because they came down a bit large and wouldn't fit... don't ask me why, I didn't bother checking on this). Instead, dumped them on a partition to do an HD install. Loopback mounted the first ISO to get the image. Booted and everything came up fine. Everything went fine until the install reached packages that would be in disc 2 or 3 then it had a fit. Now, *yes, I changed the names of the ISOs. Why? I type Dvorak and in the early stages, when the install is asking for the name and location of the first ISO, I have to hunt and peck so I shortened the names to such as Drake-CD1.iso which makes my life easier. g Thing is, the installer *and rpmdrake appear to insist on the full names rather than *asking. Okay so it's nit picking but it's very annoying. See, I went ahead and installed a very basic system then installed the rest using rpmdrake. But I had the discs named Drake-CDx.iso mounted loopback which did fine except that rpmdrake had a habit of looking for Mandrake-blah-blah-long-name.iso, having fits, and even putting duplicates in the tree on the left hand side. I resorted to going down into /var/lib/urpmi and nuking out the lists for the long names of the CDs. After that, things were much better. I suppose this is all a rare enough case that it may not be top priority but it's an irritant that I can't tell the installer and rpmdrake no, they're over THERE. g Mark

[Cooker] Attempt to install 9.0 beta1 - hard drive designations incorrect
I have a Soyo Dragon Platinum mainboard with 4 IDE channels. Channels 1 and 2 are standard Ultra-133 channels. Channels 3 and 4 are IDE-Raid channels provided by a HIghpoint HPT372 controller, operating as normal IDE channels, not raid. I have a 100GB drive on Channel 1 as master - known as hda in my existing RedHat linux installations.

RE: [Cooker] Attempt to install 9.0 beta1 - hard drive designations incorrect
When you boot your system I would suggest hardcoding your drives ie boot: linux ide0=0x1f0,0x1f2,15 ide1=0x170,0x172,14 syntax is as follows ide0=memory_addr_as_reported_in_dmsg,memory_addr from previus+2,irq_of_controller I was having this problem as you have described w/ mdk and redhat @ one time but found that the os was really changing the order to which it was detecting the drives so I had to hard code the settings in lilo.conf and when starting the install I had to do the above method..

[Cooker] resend: multiple msec bug reports and contributions
This message didn't go through to cooker the first time, so this is a resend. Yoann has already gotten back to me and forwarded the bug report onto Florin Grad [EMAIL PROTECTED], but I just wanted this to get archived here and perhaps help others from having to hunt down the same bugs. I'd also love to start a discussion on msec's community responsibility to be thoroughly documented, as I talk about in my theory/musing section below. :-) David -Original Message- From: David Harris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2002 6:34 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: multiple msec bug reports and contributions Hello, I'm sending this to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- you are the packager of the msec package [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- you are the only author listed of the msec package [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- bug reporting list (bugzilla seems dead and was a royal pain to get bug posting access to) I spent the better part of a week picking msec apart to fully understand it. In doing this, I found a number of bugs in the code and in the documentation. They are included below. First, some of my theory/musing about msec. This may help you know where I'm coming from with some of the bugs. My impression of msec mainly relates to the lack of documentation. Here's what I have to say about this: (a) Msec has a high community responsibility to be thoroughly documented and easy to understand. This is because msec overwrites files and settings owned by other packages. When using msec, an administrator has to know to not directly manipulate the settings that msec will overwrite, and the administrator must be informed of the proper msec way to configure this setting or override the default msec setting. (b) The documentation that comes with the msec package is lacking. (c) The best documentation I found wasn't even part of the msec package: http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/msec.php This documentation was also lacking in some areas (see my bug report). This documentation should be improved and included with msec. (d) Msec has a high community responsibility to be easily override-able, because it overwrites files and settings owned by other packages. Unfortunately, it is not a particularly straightforward process to override msec. One must translate descriptions in the documentation and the mseclib function names (which really should be given in the documentation). And having an end-user write a python library file is non-straightforward. All the settings should be in an easy-to-understand configuration file. (e) I was forced to spend a better part of a week doing the research on msec that resulted in the below bug reports because of the lack of documentation. I installed Mandrake Linux an a production servers and had some msec issues. (Example: No documentation told me that with msec level 4 and above, non-root users could not use ssh unless they were in the ntools group. This would have been *extremely* helpful to know!) Now the bugs and contributions. Here is a list of what I've found and attached: (1) Document with a list of bugs and contributions (david_harris_020723_msec_bugs.doc.gz). This is the attached in HTML saved from MS Word (yes, yes, I know) and then gzipped format. (I started with a word document to have formatting control and I've embedded a few tables and such.)

(1.b) Bug 2, code: msec accept_icmp_echo(arg) in /usr/share/msec/libmsec.py only sets /etc/sysctl.conf and doesn't make sure that /etc/sysctl.conf (or preferably just these values) is loaded into the actual kernel sysctl's (1.c) Bug 3, code: In /usr/share/msec/promisc_check.sh logging is never done to a TTY because the configuration variable TTYLOG_WARN is used instead of the correct TTY_WARN. (1.d) Bug 4, documentation: The feature of writing data to /var/security.log is presented as a configuration option. It is not a configuration option. The scripts that write to /var/security.log write to the location regardless of any configuration. It only matters if these scripts are running. (1.e) Bug 5, documentation: In http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/msec.php Warnings in syslog has been added to the first table. The feature is really the same as SYSLOG_WARN in the second table. It shouldn't be listed twice.
